Aloe Elite

He's currently taking four medications as well as getting weaned off the steroids. But he'll be on the auto immune suppresent the rest of his life according to the doc.

He's never been in daycare much and when he did attend he was sick all the time that's originally how all this started.

So I'm sitting around trying to figure how I'm even going to let him go to school and they tell me he's not quite bad enough to be homebound, but am afraid that to much school will kick off yet another flare up and then they may tell me he has to stay home. Feel like I'm in a rock and a hard place.

I saw something on the internet called aloe elite that claims it's all natural and is made especially for colitis, that will improve his immune system, safe for kids and will help keep his body in a natural rythem.

When I called his doc she says that it's up to me but they want to suppress his immune system and that aloe may kick up another flare up.

My question is are they just trying to keep me away from a natural way to go here because they want to keep all the doc appts. going with the awful meds. for their own purposes because their the medical industry and thats how they make their money. Or are they being for real.

Can anyone give some advice on this subject? Not crazy about the medical industry and don't always have faith in them, although they did get him out of the hosp. quicker then they said they could. Course I think God had a hand in that even more than them cause they said that he'd be in there at least a month.

So in my head I give the credit to the man upstairs for his quick release. There were many times I hit the hosp. floor in prayer for my son and I can't help but believe he answered, they even said it was one of the quickest recoveries after such a long time with the diarrhea( that they took forever figuring out by the way.)

Any theories out there on this Aloe Elite?

Thanks, D

I am so sorry for your son's diagnosis. I was diagnosed when I was 8 and have spent a lifetime in the medical institution with every doctor imaginable telling me of a new drug for UC. ( I am now 35). Looking back, I wish my parents had taken more of an initiative to understand my condition and help me homeopathically. It wasn't until I got older that I started looking into natural alternatives. I have recently started taking probiotics, omega-3 fish oil, oil of oregano, as well as folic acid and I have noticed a difference. I also continue to stay on my 6-mp which has been the only class of drug that has helped even slightly.  I follow the Specific Carbohydrate Diet and have scheduled my first acupuncture appointment for this coming Thr. If I notice a difference I will let you know, although I think the thought of needles to a 4 year old might be a bit scarry. Look into alternatives and keeping talking to people who have used them.

All the best to you and your son.
